How to change the IP
To access to the Raspberry PLC, the PLC must be on the same local network as the computer
which we are working with. For changing the IP we must have connected our PC to an Ethernet
connection. By default, the computers are given an IP address of the 192.xxx.xxx.xxx or
172.xxx.xxx.xxx type but will be necessary to change it to the 10.10.10.xxx as the PLC. As we
will work with an Ethernet interface, the WiFi interface IP must not be changed.
Linux
For changing the IP is not necessary to know the actual one that we have, but it is essential to
know the interface name on we are working. For knowing it, we will run an
ip command with
the option a .
$ip a
All the PC’s interfaces will be shown and we will have to look for the one named enp as will be
the Ethernet o ne. In order to change it, we will use the “ ifconfig ” program, install if not by
default in the system. To change your IP address on Linux, use the “ifconfig” command
followed by the name of your network interface and the new IP address to be changed on your
computer. This command have to be called being administrator, to be able to perform the
command below, we need to use su or sudo command.
$sudo ifconfig <interface_name> 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
Now the IP should be changed. In order to check it, run again the ip a command. If not, repeat
the process or check out our website’s blog about changing the IP addresses.
Windows
The first step is to open the Control Panel. The quickest way to get to it is by clicking on Start
and typing it. In the Control Panel, you can click on the
Network and Internet category and
then click on Network and Sharing Center . If you are in icon view, just click directly
on Network and Sharing Center . An Ethernet connection must be shown, if not make sure that
the Ethernet wire is connected to the Raspberry PLC.
